The Houska Castle is a medieval fort that was built in the 13th century.

Legend said that there was a big, bottomless pit where people saw winged beasts coming out from it. The Duke was called by the people.
He then asked a young man to be lowered into the put to check it out, but when they pulled him up, the young man had aged 40 years. It makes people believe that the hole is a portal to hell.
